Tips and variations

  • If you do not have whole wheat flour, you can substitute another cup of all-purpose flour in this recipe, but it will not be as healthy.
  • In general, you can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour in any recipe and it will not affect the overall recipe. And it is healthier!
  • If you do not have blueberries or do not like them, swap in 2 cups of other frozen or fresh chopped fruit.
